Some work of CrazyXp's

CONGRATS MENLATIN!!!!!
did you use my method from the other threads?

BTW... i did this a few weeks ago... (i ended up having a bent pin in my socket says ASUS... i checked for that before RMA... but ok ASUS!)







i joined in the thread after a buddy (ZX) rememberd i removed the IHS off a Prescott Celly D a year ago... and the thread was going on in the LN2, and Dry Ice, Intel Heatspreader Removal thread

my method outlined above and in the other thread is for SMD's cpu's mostly... can be applied to all cpu's without SMD's ofcourse since you dont have to worry about how far the razors stick under the core (just dont go too far or apply pressure)

and to everybody wondering in the other threads... it's solder, or some kind of alloy! ive removed IHS's a few times (2 successful, 3 unsuccessful) eventually i cracked the cpus mounting large heatsinks... so be careful

i am trying to sell an old PC so i can finally get my core2duo and take off the IHS

My results so far...

Here's some temps and clocks i've compiled...

Old ds3
Stock IHS
Apogee
3440mhz
1.36v actual, 1.4v bios
62c easy Tuner
66c Core temp
28c Ambient

Old ds3
Stock IHS
Apogee
3328mhz
1.3v actual, 1.325v bios
55c east Tuner
58c Coretemp
20c Ambient

Old ds3
Lapped IHS
Apogee
3608mhz
1.46v Actual, 1.5v bios
No easy tuner results
59c Coretemp (skewed because of super pi simultaneously running, IIRC it was 66c prime)
20c Ambient

New ds3 (much less vdroop)
Lapped IHS
Apogee
3600mhz
1.49v actual, 1.5v bios
75c Easy Tuner
74c Coretemp
28c ambient

New ds3 (much less vdroop)
Removed IHS
Apogee
3520mhz
1.41v actual, 1.425 bios
58c Speed Fan (same as easy tuner reading)
69c Coretemp
28c Ambient

Notice the ambient temps though. Makes a huge difference.
